British Newspaper Archive chess columns

Please go to the BNA feedback forum to influence their selection of future titles/ years to digitise:

https://help-and-advice.britishnewspape ... d-add-next

You can search for the title(s) that interest you and if already suggested then add your comment and vote for it.

I have voted for the Manchester Evening News, Hereford Times, Rossendale Free Press, The Field (post-1911), Land and Water, Oxford Mail among others.

Support for these would be welcomed.
I noted that one or two other people already mentioned chess in connection with The Field which was added last year (except 1857 is still missing).

You can also suggest titles that nobody yet voted for.

You have 10 votes (max 3 for any one title). I still have 2 votes in case somebody has a particularly pressing case for a title.
